Serving Boise Since 1979.I have been a practicing attorney since 1972, an adjunct professor of law since 1980, an arbitrator since 1985 and a mediator since 1989. I have conscientiously owned and operated my own law firm since 1986, genuinely caring for my clients and advancing their interests. I can competently handle your legal matter or I will find someone for you that can. 90% of my business comes from referrals, a matter of honor and importance for me.I know that legal matters are difficult for people, and that legal procedures can often be frightening, uncertain and unnecessarily expensive. Recognizing that, I act not only as your lawyer or arbitrator/mediator, but as a teacher and problem-solver for my clients, taking the mystery out of procedures and getting the job done rather than just feeding the process.I specialize in numerous areas of law, including civil litigation, family law, business law, divorce & domestic issues, commercial law, consumer issues, contracts, construction disputes, custody matters, probate, sales & leases, corporations, employment, estate planning, insurance issues, landlord & tenant law, negligence, partnerships, wills & trusts, personal injury, property matters, and arbitration/mediation.Areas of PracticeAlternative dispute resolutionArbitrationBusiness lawBusiness litigationCivil litigationCommercial lawConstruction lawConsumer issuesContractsCorporationsCustody disputes and related mattersDivorce and domestic issuesEmploymentEstate planningFamily lawFinancial issues and disputesGuardianshipsInsurance issuesLandlord/tenant lawLimited liability entitiesMediationMotor vehiclesNegligencePartnershipsPersonal injuryProbateProperty mattersReal property issuesSales and leasesTortsWills and trusts
